Meet Laarnie and Reis...

the two kids I teach 2nd year 3-d to. I taught both of them last year in the beginning class and was really impressed with their sense of design, so I encouraged them to come back to me. They are both juniors, and this is their first assignment of the year. We used Wilton cake dyes to dye wool yarn with, and set the dye in the microwave with a bit of vinegar (some years I steam the yarns to set the dye)

At the same time they are working with the dyes they are also creating their own knitting needles from dowels and polymer clay.

These are Reis Misaka's yarns and needles...

And here are Laarnie Barcelon's.

Both where able to choose between knitting a pillow top or a scarf. So stay turned to see their results. :)

Welcome!

Welcome to my blog! I would like to share some of my art along with my beloved junior and senior high school student's art pieces as we create here at Whitney High School in Cerritos, Ca. I'm also using this blog as a teaching tool to showcase professional artists works so that my students can see some really terrific pieces and be inspired! Plus I also like to throw in a few photos of my kids & dog, my garden, and anything else that might catch your attention. If you have any questions, or are interested in purchasing my artwork, please feel free to contact me at dartisun@gmail.com. I look forward to hearing from you. My students and I love your comments, so please keep them coming :)
